The impact of customer satisfaction on CEO bonuses

Don O’Sullivan is the Associate Professor of Marketing at the Melbourne Business School. In a recent study he shows that in the US, customer satisfaction is a significant determinant of CEO bonuses. Findings demonstrate that the success of CEO’s in managing customer satisfaction has a direct, personal, and economic impact in the form of their annual bonus awards.

Complaints whitepaper update

In 2007 CSBA provided a well received whitepaper on the state of complaint management in Australia. I am pleased to say that we have now been able to update the whitepaper and some interesting facts are:

Not taking customer complaints seriously and not having a strategy to address complaints has a considerable negative effect on business, as customers whose complaints are not addressed take their business elsewhere and generate negative word of mouth referral.

Congratulations to all our customers who have recently won awards!

Congratulations to all our customers that have recently won awards in the ATA and CSIA award ceremonies that have occurred in the last couple of months. Well Done.
